Have you ever had homemade raisin bread? If not, then you haven’t had raisin bread. The difference between this and store-bought raisin bread is amazing. But be warned, once you’ve had this there’s no going back.
This recipe is for a 2 pound loaf. Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which ingredients to put in the bread machine first.
Raisin Bread
1 – 1/2 C. Water
4 – 1/4 C. Bread Flour
3 Tbsp. Sugar
2 Tbsp. Dry Milk
1 – 1/2 tsp. Salt
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1 cup Raisins
2 tsp Yeast
P.S. – For the Zojirushi Bread Machine, the raisins should be added at the “add” beep. However I’ve discovered that this results in the raisins being around the periphery of the loaf. To get the raisins more evenly distributed throughout the loaf I put them in when I’m adding the rest of the ingredients.
